Record 1 2022-02-01

English

Subject field(s)
  • Search and Rescue (Paramilitary)
DEF

A search tactic involving attempts to signal the subject and get him or her to travel toward searchers.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Recherche et sauvetage (Paramilitaire)
DEF

Tactique de recherche qui met en jeu des signaux pouvant attirer la personne ou l'amener à se déplacer vers les chercheurs.

CONT

Les méthodes d'attraction visent à aider une personne consciente et mobile à trouver les secouristes et la sécurité. Une opération de secours est toujours plus facile et plus efficace si la ou les personnes perdues ou disparues retrouvent toutes seules leur chemin, plutôt que d'envoyer un grand nombre de chercheurs et de ressources à leur recherche.
